Imagine if we had a media that said “actually, madame Vice President, no Israelis were raped on October 7 but there’s video evidence of Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian detainee, and the right to rape has been defended by Israeli mobs, politicians and rabbis.”

First time I've ever seen Trump with ballcap hair.
Did he stiff his hairdresser?

Nailed the "Russia Russia Russia" and the "No I'm not--YOU are" squares on my bingo card from just one of Trump's sentences.

ABC failed to cut Trump's mic when he tried to override the moderator.

I find it exhausting to have to point out that Donald Trump has—yet again—threatened to engage in violent and dictatorial behavior, and that—yet again—the collective reaction by some in America seems to be a numb acceptance that this is just who Trump is.

All that the thing on ABC tonight will have in common with a debate is two lecterns and two people...er, ah…one person and a mental health crisis in a jacket that doesn’t have the sleeves tied behind it. Other than that, to call these quadrennial Q&A sessions debates debases the moral and mental acuity of the viewing audience and the English language itself.
The choice between 2 criminals, one with less obvious cover and the other with full ISIS like mindset.
It's really scary to see how similar Iran and US are when it comes to people's choice in "selecting" a president.
The main difference is that most people in Iran KNOW that the system is BS, but people in US living in the illusion of having the only functioning democracy in the world.

Lawrence: We live in a country where most commentators declared the liar the debate winner - YouTube
Twenty-four hours after the word “panic” appeared on television screens, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell provides what he calls “calm analysis” of the first presidential debate of the 2024 election.
Recap on the First Presidential Debate
For now, one thing is for sure. We’re facing the real threat of falling into fascism, and far from even having the journalistic responsibility to “look outside the f*cking window,” we suffer debate moderators hurtling our democracy down that bottomless pit. In last night’s debate, between breathtakingly incompetent moderators, a perennially lying Donald Trump who refuses to say he’ll accept the results if he loses, and a President Biden unable to articulate his point in any effective sort of way—there were no winners, only losers.
Namely, the American people and the hopes of a functioning democracy.

I really hope that Trump's nonstop lies get pounded on relentlessly in the next few days. They have to get pounded on, and the press needs to call balls and strikes on that, instead of just talking and talking and talking about appearances. #PresidentialDebate #debate2024 #Debate
Good grief--flipping between MSNBC and CNN I get the impression that both channels are already picking out Biden's burial plot, and it's all because somebody in Dem HQ announced, "we have a problem"...and this with the backdrop of a Watch Party that Biden showed up in and started sounding like his old campaign self rather than the hoarse campaigned-too-hard guy who tired out in the practice drills.
Summary: Biden was answering the questions before him and Trump was answering the previous question while throwing spitballs. None of these high-paid opinionators had the opinion that we were watching a grownup dealing with a brat. And I think the reason the opinionators do what they do is because they're more of a party operative and less of a journalist.
I usually play debate bingo with these things, but with Trump I could have had a friggin' blackout board, and if this was a drinking game I'd be under the table.
